How to be Photographed.

London has an autocratic photographer,
and his somewhat high-handed treatment
of his patrons is tolerated because his
quick eye for effect, his skill in posing the
subjects, and the exquisite finish and truth
fulness place him far above many portrait
painters. His charges are enormous, and
engagements have to be made months
ahead, but the result is very satisfactory
In the first place there is no climbing of
stairs to mount above a shop on business
street, as there is here. One drives to a
handsome private house. A gorgeous and
condescending servant opens the door. No
less gorgeous and even more condescending
is the young woman in charge of the re-
ception room. This young person shows
the influence of artistic environment and
wears long Goeblin blue gown of soft
cashmere with pulled sleeves.
A powerful footman announces the artist,
Mr.. Mendelssohn. He comes at last.
laughter and more condescending than
any of his naughty household, he makes
an engagement with you and tells what
sort of gown you should wear when YOU
come to sit, or, if this is fulfllment of an
engagement, he leads the way through a
conservatory and finally into the studio.
He does not like seated women; he almost
invariably poses them standing Ger
tainly," he says, "a woman's form is as
much part of her beauty as is her face.
Why should the best effect of it be lost by
doubling her up?" He makes them stand
against a wall or a curtain with their
heads well up, and even if they are not tall
and slim he generally succeeds in making
them look SO. He doesn't like bonnets,
either, and rarely takes woman in one.
He insist upon some simple arrangement
of the hair and very few jewels. After the
sitting is over one finds a little dressing
room fitted with every feminine luxury
and a maid in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Letter.

Printing silver Certificates.

There is said to be good deal of eriti-
cism among the bankers of Washington of
the method now in vogue in the Bureau of
Engraving and printing for Printing the
reverse side of the silver certificates.
When Mr.. Graves was installed in Office as
chief of the bureau there were seven ma
chimes for printing from plates in operation.
Now there are eighteen, and three more
are soon to be added. 1t is asserted that
no machine has been invented which will
take the place of the human hand in dis
tributing the ink over an engraved plate,
and that with the present machines it is
impossible to get good results with any
other color than green. For this reason
only the green side of the silver certificates
is printed with the machines. The ink,
too, is said to be inferior to that which is
used when hand printing is done. The
silver certificates printed on the machine
are much less durable than those printed
by hand, and the ink will easily rub off
when the bills are in the least moist. Mr..
Brooks, chief of the secret service division
of the Treasury, said recently that the
United States is falling to rear place in
the quality of the notes which it issues.
He is opposed to the printing machines as
a substitute for hand labor, and SAYS that
counterfeiting will increase in this coun-
try in direct proportion with the increase
in the use of machines.-Nerr York ,Ssn.

The Wife of a Farmer.

A pleasanter way of spending fort
nights vacation cannot easily be found
than the taking of carriage drive along
the valleys and over the hills of New
Hampshire and Vermont. The scenery is
charming, the roads are generally good,
and one can almost always find comfort
able inn for the night But there is one
sad drawback to the enjoyment of the trip
for person of any sensibility He cannot
fail to be struck by the weary and almost
hopeless faces of the women in many farm
houses. The husband looks strong, vigor-
Gus, capable of much enjoyment of life,
while the wife appears weak, tagged, tired
OF existence. Perhaps you find that noon
has Overtaken you in some village that has
no place of public entertainment, and YOU
must apply at farmhouse for dinner.
Very likely you will get good meal after
some delay, but very likely, also, your con-
science will reproach you when you see the
oyerworked woman, whose load your I'M
expected appearance has made little
heavier.
The truth is that the farmer too often
treats his wife as beast of burden, and
even sometimes fails to bestow upon her
the care which he would give valuable
animal. Everywhere there are brawny
" hired men" who might relieve her of
heavy drudgery they will be found sitting
idle while she drags through her never
ending round of duties. II is but step
from neglect to abuse, and many farmer,
even before he knows it, has been guilty of
" intolerable severity. Frank Leslie's.

SAID BY A PHYSICIAN.
A cure Tor Chapped Lips and a Study of
the Cause of Wrinkles.

As soon as the cold winds begin to
blow," remarked a physician, 81 am over
run with patients suffering from chapped
lips. The trouble generally manifests
itself in one wide cut in the middle of the
lip. | used to treat such THINGS as q
laughing matter and prescribe some simple
emollient, such as glycerine, for instance
But L soon found that such treatment was
only temporary remedy, for after par
TALLY healing the cut would open at the
slightest exertion of the lips. The mere
act of biting anything hard, laughing or
yawning would make the unfortunate
howl with pain. If the patient was ad-
dlcted to the Use of tobacco the chances
were that he would have bad lip all
through the winter. In my researches for
permanent cure | ran across an old tramp
printer who had rubbed against the rough
side of the world all his life, and for whom
every season had been cold dav. He
told me that if investigated the matter
would find that the people addicted to
ehapped lips were in the habit of touch
ing them with their tongues. A sure
cure, he said, is to keep your tongue in
your mouth. | have since followed his
suggestion in my practice and never knew
1t to fail. The rough skin of the tongue
scratches the lips, and when they have
once become chapped the least contact is
enough to keep the cut open.
Il have recently been making a study of
wrinkles" continued the doctor. at is
customary to say that wrinkles come from
worrying, but the truth is that most of
them come from laughing. This is rather
paradoxical, must admit, but | have been
only convinced after the most careful in
vestigation. To know how to laugh is lust
as important as to know when to do it. If
yon laugh with the sides of your face the
skin will work loose in time and wrinkles
will form in exact accordance with what
kind of laugh you have. The man who
always wears smirk will have a series of
semi-circular wrinkles covering his cheeks.
When gambler, who has been accustomed
to suppress his feelings, laughs, deep line
forms on each side of his nose and runs to
the upper corner of his mouth. In time
this line extends to the chin and assumes
the shape of a half-moon
"a cadaverous person with waxlike
skin Is very apt to have two broadly
marked wrinkles, one running up from the
jaw and the other under the eye. These
meet at right angles at the cheekbone, and
look as though they formed knot at the
apex. The scholars wrinkles form on his
brow, while the scheming politicians
come around his eyes, where they look for
all the world like the spokes of wheel
Some of the fat women who bet on horses
have the most astonishing crop of wrinkles
l ever saw outside of an elephant One in
particular was so strongly marked that
whenever she smiled over a big win the
wrinkles in each cheek would form them
selves in the shape of a perfect pretzel."-

WHERE GEMS ARE DYED.-Precious
stones are dyed at Oberstein, Germany,
where nearly the whole population is de-
voted to the work of making bogus iewelry
and fixing up cheap gems to look fine.
Different families have their different
modes of treatment, and some families
have the secret of some one or another spe-
cial tint which can be made nowhere else.
Chalcedony is the usual base of false
onyxes and agates, which are most counter
feited. The stones are boiled in the color
ing matter and then subjected to intense
heat. The color permeates the whole
stone. One family has the secret of con-
verting crocidolite into eats eyes"
Gypsum and hornblende are also made
into the same gems. Tircons, which are
cheap stones of silicon and zirconia, have
the color washed out and are apparently
diamonds until tested. A thin slice of
diamond is laid over topaz so that the
whole appears to be one gem. Emeralds
are easily initiated. Many stones sold as
rubies are only red spinel, and much OF
the lapis lazuli is only dyed chalcedony.-

men pick up gold in the streets. They
suffered SO much hardship and misery
that the old man died. and his
son became a servant in the house
of wealthy landowner who lived in
the outskirts of Buenos Ayres. The land
owner had no family, and he was so thank
fulfor the devoted attendance OF his BASQUE
servant that he made Oyarcabal his sole
legatee. On the death of his master the
ex-goatherd purchased several lots of land
between the Paraguay and the Salado. and
these he sold in few wears at ten times

rather primitive locality, and he is the

A Goat-Herd Millionaire.

A French millionaire cuts but very
indifferent figure in comparison with an
English one, says the Paris correspondent
of the London Daia Telegraph. The
Gallie variety has but the trifling sum of
1,0o4Goo francs, or 100000, placed to his
account when his conntrymen one and all
accord him the title. A real substantial
millionaire from the English point of view
has, however, been discovered in the per-
son of Arnaud Oyarcabal, who has just re-
turned from South America to his native
town of st. Palais, in the Basque Provinces,
where in his youth he helped his father to
sell goats milk. From his own country
nlen's point of view the successful goat
herder is thirty times millionaire, for he
possesses 100000 francs, or Ct, zoo, 900

AN ALPINE LAKELET.-In little basin
of the Alps, 200 feet above sea-level and
FIVE miles from the end of the great
Aletsch glacier, is the unique little lake
known as the Marjalen Sea. This is fed
by mountain streamlets, its waters being
held back by the ice of the great glacier
itself. An English geologist mentions hav-
ing seen it In 1858 as body of water 800
yards wide and three times az long, with a
maximum depth Of 81 feet But the next
day it had vanished. The ice-dam had
yielded sufficiently to allow the pent-up
water to escaper beneath the glacier and
plunge into the valley below, devastating
the fields and considerably raising the
level of the Rhone. These discharges take
place at irregular intervals though re-
puted to occur every seven years. The
latest outbreak was IN September. last,
since which it has beer proposed to, lessen
future damages by providing an artificial
outlet to reduce tba lakes capacity one
half.

PEARL OYSTERS.
How They Produce the Treasures They
Contain.

How They Produce the Treasures They
Contain.
The business of getting the pearls out of
oysters is tolerably disagreeable one. The
oysters are thrown into large vessels and
left to die, when the shells open of their
own accord. The shells are then removed.
but the oysters themselves are left in
buckets till they become decomposed, when
they are well stirred. The pearls sink to
the bottom, and the remainder is poured
off. 1t may be readily inferred that the
odor in the camp of pearl seekers is more
powerful than pleasant
The pearl had its origin in the efforts of
the oyster to protect itself from the irrita-
ton caused by the presence of some for
eign body between the shell and its man
tie, as the soft skin of the oyster is techni-
cally termed To mitigate the suffering
caused by this vexatious intruder, the oys-
ter deposits thereon coating of the same
material as that of which the shell is COM
posed, and when once this process has be-
gun it continues, till in time the pearl
grows large enough to kill the oyster.
To the fanciful minds of oriental nations
no such crude explanation has ever oc-
CURED, and they still attribute to pearls
much more poetic origin. The oysters
they say, rise by night to the surface of
the water, and opening their shells receive
therein single drop of dew This IN
time becomes a pearl, and if the dew has
been pure and clear the pearl will be
beautiful one; but if the drop of dew has
been soiled with impurities, then the
pearl will be Opaque and of no value.
Linneus, the father of naturalists," re-
ceived the honor of knighthood for demon
strating the possibility of artifcially in
ducing the formation of pearls in the
pearl-bearing mussel. Bat, as has been
the case with other European inyen-
tions of which we have thought a good
deal, it has since turned out that John
Chinaman has been doing this thing for
couple of thousand years or so. The Chi
nese method is to take the mussel from the
river, carefully force the shells a little
way apart, and insert between the mantle
of the oyster and one of the shells a few
little pellets of clay, tiny pearls or foreign
bodies Of some kind. When this has been
done, the oyster is turned over, and the
poor fellow compelled to submit to SINH
liar uncomfortable process on the other
side. He is then put back into a pond,
where lie is kept well and fat by
diet more nourishing than nice. After
few months, or sometimes year or two,
he is again taken from his bed, his pearls
are taken out, and he is GENERALIZATION
